A random poll created for the European members in particular. Like the title asks, which ones have you seen so far?

I personally never saw the Sex, Drugs and Discrimination ones.

Would the manual count as well?

I think I've come across them all. I remember when I first saw the violence rating on the back of a box (Think it was the Hobbit game for ps2 back in 2003) when PEGI was first introduced, I thought it was a warning for the game being hard and the clenched fist represented someone raging with frustration :P

I've definitely seen then all many times. To avoid any confusion: In Canada, game boxes usually have both the PEGI and ESRB ratings on them, and some only have one or the other.

I saw the Gambling one only once, and it was with Beyond Good & Evil (Luck challenges for pearls in Akuda Bar).

Hah, if only I played games! I've seen violence, bad language, fear, sex and I think online game, but I don't remember because I don't have it anymore.

All of 'em cept drugs, discrimination and sex, though come to think of it, I might have seen 'em, but not in a game I've owned.

I know I've seen sex in Time and Eternity and Dead or Alive 5; gambling in Ni No Kuni, drugs in Sleeping Dogs, and fear in Rayman Origins of course...

Lol I even looked up Rabbids Go Home on the PEGI website and they don't have the 12 rated version on there (well you know, it had BAD WORDS oh no!).

Should we perhaps make a separate thread for ESRB symbols or change this one into a global software rating thread covering ESRB, PEGI, and CERO ratings?

Let's see... Foul language, sex, violence (blood?), fear, online game (I saw somewhere "teen - web" rating, which also included e-drama), also drugs I believe? Age restrictions up to +18. Most of 'em on games I don't own/played once at somebody's. Sometimes games contained something extra, like, uh, juicy bits like sex scenes, but it wasn't noted on box or anywhere else. Maybe because they in fact weren't as juicy as they might be.

But there was shaggin'

And my inner censor ain't no happy with this

I saw everything. Even if I usually play Platformers, I do try out M rated games as well.
